Step by Step:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl combine flour, butter substitute, apple sauce, sugar, milk, salt, vanilla extract, baking powder and cinnamon and mix well. Then add the grated carrots and nuts and mix, folding in gently until well combined.

Pour the batter in a baking pan previously greased and lightly floured and spread evenly. Bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester or knife comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Make your frosting: Place butter substitute and vegan cream cheese in a large bowl and mix until smooth. Add vanilla extract, milk, and confectioner’s sugar slowly and continue mixing until all ingredients are well blended.

Frost with vegan cream cheese frosting, or as an alternative, dust cake with powdered sugar.
